Naw, just have to wetsand it down and polish it out. I'd rather have them painted then use overlays.

An example.

Its the same concept. The painter assured me this was a tinting spray which allows great light output similar to the nightshade paint. I'll post examples of the light output tonight.

Pictures are over exposed so can't really tell. Looks better before. Should of done it to 03-05 tail lights if u were going to do that.

I think it looks great man. It definitely gives the Z more of a clean look from the rear. I might have held off on the turn signals due to the light output being reduced though, but that can be fixed with some led's. Just a thought... Overall, great job!

even if the pic is over exposed its obvious you can see the lights on.

I think the blacking out looks great......now that I know you can see the lights on
